Shocks upgrade polo 6r

[squarehead94]

Hi all. So got myself a new daily polo 6r 1.2 TDI, and picked up a new old stock set of Vogtland 30/50mm springs for it. While I'm there I'll probably replace the shocks as I suspect the ones on the car are the original 10 year old components. What are people's recommendations? Been advised bilstein b4s would be sufficient for this level of drop, just wondering if there's any others out there I should be considering? Also, do people recommend autodoc for these? £48 each for b4s for my polo which is reasonable, rears are £29 each.

I can't seem to find bilstein dust covers for the front B4 shocks, only the rears. Can you use febi front dust covers or not?

Bilstein B4's are OEM replacements - they're not an upgrade. Since they are just OEM replacements, you should just be able to reuse the dustcovers/bump stops etc
